ACTIVITIES

The program of Troop 203 is centered on camping, hiking and the outdoors.  Usually there is one overnight outing a month during the school year.  In late June, the Troop goes to summer camp for a week at Camp Wente near Willits, CA.  High Sierra backpack and camping trips are scheduled in the summer, typically with a longer trip for older scouts and a two-night trip for all scouts.    Other activities occur throughout the year:  day hikes, service projects, Merit Badge activities, etc.  There has been much variety over the years, depending on the various interests of the Scouts and the adult leaders.

Regular troop meetings occur once a week during the school year at Montera Middle School:  Monday nights, 7:00-8:00pm.  There is usually no troop meeting on school holidays, breaks, or the day after a campout weekend.  At troop meetings, the troop conducts weekly information exchange, learns Scout skills, prepares for campouts, plays games, conducts awards ceremonies, etc.
